Is exam cram worth it?

Published

Hi guys! Did you find exam cram cd helpful in passing nclex?

I totally love nclex exam cram...the questions are really hard and very out of this world..what i mean is hard level questions (super duber challenging). Though i find some topographical errors in some of the questions...but that's fine as long as the rationale is right. Totally pleased with this review material, it definitely mimics the real exam, even better i believe.

Thanks Prado, and is the CD the one that will shut off kind of like the NCLEX does?

HI

I did a pretest on the exam cram and i could not get any kind of review for questions for the pretest.

I did a simulated test too but could not select for a review later for the questions i answered.

i didnt know which ones i answered right and which ones i answered wrong.

I am very impressed by the exam cram resource but very confused the way it is accessed.

I dont know if i can review questions after i finish a pretest and simulated test.:banghead:

please provide info.

Hey its really good its designed for you to start out that way. You can review them in the adapative drill as they show up. I know its a lil confusing but thats how it helps you once get in adapative drill it will allow you to review it as an option. if you get them right in adaptive drill move it moves on to the next question if not it will as you to try again, do want explanation, show the right answer, or move on. Also, do two to three pretest first so the computer can set up your weak areas. Then move to adaptive drill where you can work on them. Once you hit 75 mark it will let you move on until its 95% sure you can take the nclex. Hang in there! Its a process not a do questions and get answers. It helps you!

oh okay cool! So you do have some time to work on areas. I think if you drill excram questions, work on weak areas, and reinforce your content you will be fine to take the test. Most of all, you have to feel confident in yourself.
